I'm looking at purchasing a Viper LTX SE. Dealer has a used 14 and a new 15. Anything I need to look for if I purchase the 14, or is it better to buy the 15?
Thanks for the advice.
Thanks for the advice.
How many miles on the 14 and is it a much cheaper $$ sled to buy?

I just bought a 2014 Viper XTX and it was just shy of $4K in savings from my dealer compared to the 15, plus got the 5 year warranty. Couldn't be happier with the sled and was more than happy with the purchase.

I would go with a '15 after the '16s come out. Buying a '14 at this point is like buying a 2 year old sled.

What color the 14 blue is the best looking sled on snow in my opinion that plus some cash of Is good deal but only 2000 off a used 14 does not seem like a great deal but no significant changes in the 15 ltx that I know of.
1300 miles, had all the updates and $2000 less.
If you owned the '14 model and found that you could trade for $2k would you do it?
I know it would be hard for me not to. Unless of course I had invested a lot in accessories.
And like others said, the 16's are coming so wait and see what comes out.

I own a '14 and a '15. The brakes are much better on the '15, I like the turner skis some don't. Seat has a tackier material, (not sure if all models have that or not). Otherwise not much difference. That said if you can wait I would for the announcement of the '16s.

Thanks guys, I'm thinking I might wait for the 16's to come out. Maybe at least by then the prices might drop a little if I don't like what I see for 16.
